2025 Mercedes Sprinter 3500

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Sprinter 3500.

The 2025 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 arrives as the latest iteration of a workhorse platform whose complaint history from 2007 to 2022 reveals a wide span of owner-reported issues, peaking at 61 complaints for the 2016 model year and bottoming out at just 1 for 2008. This historical range underscores that the Sprinter 3500’s reliability has varied notably across generations, with the 2016 vintage standing out as the most problematic in the dataset. As the 2025 model year sits beyond the documented period, its long-term dependability remains an open question, placing it in a position where researchers will need to watch for early signals against this established backdrop.
